Fine line script tattoo on upper back

Fine line · Back · Black and grey · Photo

A close photograph of a thin, cursive script tattoo set vertically on the upper back, close to the spine and neck. The linework is delicate and even, with slightly varied letter height and fine flowing strokes. The image is black and grey, with soft natural light and a shallow focus that keeps the lettering as the main subject.

Dear Tomas,

The boat came in on Tuesday with the post and two sacks of salt, and Mrs Gilchrist swore the mainland had sent you a new hand, so I have had to learn the ink again. Forgive the wobble. Your father's pen is the only one left on the island that writes a straight line, and the gulls have had the lid off it twice.

The mail boat has not run since the autumn gales took the slip. Everyone says the crossing will be possible by the spring tides, but the spring tides have said that every year since you left, so I have stopped listening to them and started listening to the kettle instead. It sings before it boils now. Did you know that? Nobody here will tell me what it means.

Callum from the north cottage says the sea gives back what it wants when it is ready, and I told him that is what the sea does with cod too, and he did not laugh. He has a way of looking at the horizon as if it owes him money.

Come home when the lamp is lit on the point and the window at the top of the stair shows green. I have kept your room as it was, except for the shelf, which I cleared for the books you will bring back. Burn this letter after you read it, as you always did with mine. I have never once listened.
